Shh don't tell anyone, but I've heard some will "do it" for peanuts.

Supply and demand rules. = Some might even do it for therapy and enjoyment.

thought: In a recent study of macaque monkeys in Indonesia, researchers found 
that male primates "paid" for sexual access to females — and that the going rate 
for such access dwindled as the number of available females went up.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1700821,00.html"> researchers, who studied the monkeys for some 20 months, found that males 
offered their payment up-front, as a kind of pre-sex ritual. It worked. After 
the females were groomed by male partners, female sexual activity more than 
doubled, from an average of 1.5 times an hour to 3.5 times. The study also 
showed that the number of minutes that males spent grooming hinged on the number 
of females available at the time: The better a male's odds of getting lucky, the 
less nit-picking time the females received</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/93199093-1B17-4700-91AF-55E85C15D568/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
